Lonely Planet review for Kelsang Temple
The centrepiece of this remarkable collection of buildings is a large courtyard, which is the focus of festival and monastic activities. This is a fascinating place to sit and watch the pilgrims and monks go about their business. Monks congregate here before their lunch-time service in the main assembly hall. A huge prayer pole rears up from the centre of the flagged courtyard and the surrounding walls are painted with buddhas. There are splendid photo opportunities here.
